Fordham University’s acceptance rate has declined by 11% for the class of 2030, from 58% to 47%, according to an article from Fordham Now. The article also reported a 23% increase in applicants from the previous year, bringing the total number to over 54,000.
This acceptance rate decline represents “a dramatic shift in selectivity over last year,” according to Fordham Now.
The average grade point average (GPA) among admitted seniors for the class of 2030 was 3.77, compared to the admitted senior GPA for the class of 2028, which was 3.78. Fordham remained test-optional this cycle, and year-over-year for the fall 2024 application cycle for the class of 2029, there was a 6.2% decrease in students admitted without test scores, falling from 66.2% to 60%.

I guess they finally decided they had to play the game. It’s all smoke and mirrors, just like all the other schools that have drastically reduced their admit rates by spamming for applications and then yield protecting. Too bad, but oh well.
